I'm concerned by the detention of 13 activists & academics which took place this morning in #Turkey. It confirmes that the principal victims of attacks are the organs of society to which a gov should look for partnership in upholding #HumanRights & fostering active citizenship.

I share SG’s concerns over the detention of a group of academics in #Turkey, and I have encouraged #PACE co-rapporteurs to raise this issue during their forthcoming visit to #Ankara in December. go.coe.int/Pq9Sk
